Smallville Season 8 Episode Identity Was Awesome

As I have mentioned before, I am a HUGE fan of the television show Smallville. It is the story of how Clark Kent journeys to become Superman. Anyways, last night’s episode was yet again awesome. I do not want to give any spoilers away for those who may have not yet seen it, but it was great, and possibly one of the best so far.

I can’t help but feel that Clark is getting closer and closer to finally becoming Superman. The writer’s have done an excellent job so far with the storyline. I can’t wait to see how he get’s his suit (surely they won’t leave us hanging!). I also can’t wait to see him embrace his flying abilities (we have now seen a few super-leaps, but no flying). Plus you can definitely feel more chemistry between Lois and Clark.

Clark does still seem as if he is against the idea of having an “alter ego,” however, it seems as if he is starting to realize his true destiny of saving lives and giving hope to millions of people–so hopefully he will soon whip out the cape and tights.

I still wonder about Lex, but I believe he may be trapped in either the Phantom zone or the fortress of solitude (which is back to its crystal form). Plus what is up with Tess Mercer? Is she evil, and why did she turn so evil after her fling with the Green Arrow (Oliver Queen). And is Chloe going to die now that Brainiac has invaded her mind? Or will she be able to recover? I am wondering if she might just die since we never really hear about her in the comics or Superman movies.

The funny thing is, I have never really been a big fan of any TV series. Yet I got into this Smallville show and so far I have not missed 1 single episode. My wife and I love it. I can’t wait until next week’s episode. It looks like Clark is going to take a trip back to the phantom zone to save Kara (his supergirl cousin). I have always been a Superman fan, but this show is more than Superman. It is a story of channeling your abilities to help a greater good. It is about finding out what you are capable of doing in life, and making a decision about how to use it.

BUT I LOVE THIS SHOW!!

When Will Clark Kent (Tom Welling) Fly or Get the Superman Suit?

Well Smallville is now in its 8th (and possibly final) season. And so far…Clark Kent (aka Tom Welling) has yet to learn how to fly! Not only that, as the season goes along I am getting more and more worried about the whole “no flights, no tights” rule that the CW apparently made at the beginning.

When Will Clark Kent (Tom Welling) Learn to Fly?

Okay, so for a few episodes Clark has flown. We have that episode where he wasn’t really Clark (he was Kal-el), and he flew into the plan and got the crystal. We also have that episode where he was dreaming and woke up hovering above his bed.

And to tease us even more, they have even shown a few “super leaps” in there which look like he flies, but not really. I even thought he flew for a minute, but was like, “oh no, wait, that was only a jump.”

So will he actually fly this season? Well, I suspect he will at least fly. I read that during this past summer (after the 7th season), someone was asked if he will fly. And the response was that “there will be no tights, but I can’t say anything about the no flight rule.” This makes me think that he will for sure be flying. There was also some statement made that went something like, “Clark will soon realize that running around in a crowded city is too hard, especially when he is trying to hide his identity.” So this seems to hint that flight will be necessary, and Clark will finally realize it and start flying more.

Will Clark Kent (Tom Welling) Put on the Superman Suit in This 8th Season?

I sure hope so! Man, I really hope they give us a great storyline on how Clark comes up with the idea and design for the Superman suit. People already think he wears a cape after the “identity” episode where Oliver Queen dressed up like Clark. So maybe that is why he wears the cape?? I have never seen a storyline of how he actually gets the suit, so I would personally love to see how it happens.

Anyways, I really hope they are not stubborn about this “No tights” rule. The fans want tights. I know the show is about Clark Kent, and not Superman. But it is about Clark Kent becoming Superman, and this show has been so great, it would truly be a tragedy if we didn’t see the last fulfillment of this journey.  I know it seems that Tom Welling is a little shy about wanting to slap on the tights, but come on dude! You are now Clark Kent in the minds of millions. You have an awesome job. Suck it up and slap on the tights. Use a body double if you have to. But just give us the tights CW!

In my opinion, the last steps to become Superman are: Learn to fly, Get the Suit, and Train in the Fortress of Solitude. Then Bam, we have our Superman!

I can’t wait to see how the rest of this season unfolds!
